Add The New York Post on Google The Issue: Families of 9/11 victims call on Mayor Mamdani to stay away from anniversary ceremonies.
There are 2,977 reasons why Ground Zero should remain forbidden ground for Mayor Mamdani to stand on (“Per ‘Zo’ na non grata,” July 26).
This ever-smiling hypocrite professes glowing admiration for those who helped plan this atrocity. He proudly embraces individuals who continue to heap praise upon those who participated in the death and destruction that followed in some way.
9/11 was not an isolated blink in history. Much of what led to 9/11 remains intact and is constantly being nourished by Mamdani and his ilk. The 2,977 victims would be horrified by his presence.
Isn’t the 9/11 anniversary sad enough without some families deciding to politicize the occasion by convincing almost 17,000 people to sign a petition to block the mayor from attending? Many more thousands think the petition is in poor taste and an insult to the memory of 9/11 victims.
Those who have signed the petition will find themselves in the minority because there are many mourners who will be attending the memorial or watching it on TV, expecting Mamdani to join them in their time of sorrow.
Recall when the mayor was ostracized when he chose not to attend the recent Israeli Day parade. Imagine the public outcry if he chose not to attend the 9/11 memorial.
I wholeheartedly agree with the sentiment to ban Mamdani from the 9/11 ceremonies. His presence will surely diminish the atrocities that took place that day.
This is a sacred day that his antisemitic and pro-Palestinian beliefs should never be associated with. It should just serve as a reminder that this should never happen again and allow every American to mourn without needless disruption.
Whoever has the authority to keep this no-good, terrorist-loving ingrate out of the 9/11 ceremony, please do so. This idiot needs to be banned. He is the epitome of evil.
I hope the petition being signed by the relatives of 9/11 victims is successful in keeping Mamdani away from the planned tribute.
Mamdani and his chosen associates in City Hall are apologists for Islamic terrorists. If he and his American-hating crew are going to participate in the ceremony honoring the dead Americans, we must remove the words “never forget” from the banners.
So, against the wishes of nearly 17,000 people who signed a petition, Mamdani still plans to attend the ceremony. The fool mayor will undoubtedly turn it into yet another rant against the United States and how wonderful socialism is.
I lost several close friends in the disaster. I pray every day that all the commies and their supporters move to someplace where their stupid, non-working systems already exist.
Mamdani picks and chooses what he wants to attend. This is something he should choose not to.
How could he show his face and make a speech at the memorial? What a hypocrite. It still baffles me that this man got voted in to be New York City’s mayor.
The audacity of this mayor to think he should attend the 25-year anniversary of 9/11 is astonishing. This is the same guy who actually said his aunt was afraid to take the subway after the slaughter of our innocent civilians because of her hijab. He professes loyalty to a litany of anti-American creeps and antisemites. But don’t disrespect a Muslim wearing their garb, lest you be labeled an Islamophobe.
Mamdani attending is not only extremely hypocritical, but a slap to the faces of our people and first responders.
Good reporting by The Post’s Rich Calder, who explained why families of 9/11 victims don’t want Mamdani at the 25th anniversary ceremony. He has at least one associate who said America deserved the attacks.
